The Sunday Salon

And now a bunch of useless information you never wanted to know about me. ;-)

Outside my window: It's Beautiful! I think summer is finally here.

I am listening to: I downloaded some new songs this week by ADELE, Earlimart and Fauxliage.

I am watching: I went and saw the new Xmen movie on Friday for my b-day. They took a few liberties, and yes, I'm nerdy enough to know, but it was a lot of fun and I loved, loved James McAvoy as Charles Xavier\professor X!

I am thinking: I need to finish the book I'm reading so I can get to some fun ones.

I am grateful for: The delicious, drool inducing chocolate chocolate chip bunt cake dripping with ganache that my sister is making me this evening for a late birthday celebration.

I am reading: Mermaid, a retelling of The Little Mermaid. Meh, I'm struggling through it.

I am photographing: A few pictures for my blog lately but not much.

I am listing: Nothing.

I am creating: Nothing. I know, I know. Boring!

Around the house: It's either time for a new bookshelf or I need to stop buying books....LOL! Yeah, right!

From the kitchen: Urgh, I'm still trying to decide what to do for dinner. Not fun!

One of my favorite things: Borders coupons and Borders Bucks! It saves me so much money.

The children this week: No kids, just my cat Buns and she seems a little depressed lately. Sigh, maybe I should invest in a pet therapist. Kidding.

I saw X-men: First Class last week, walking in with low expectations and walking out completely sold on everything. My favourite character was Mystique. I never, in a million years, would have thought anything would make my empathise with her. What a surprise! (I can't agree with her choice, but I understand her better--and that makes a difference.)

Suey, I'm so tempted to do the Ikea thing! I'm glad you liked the song, it's my favorite of the ones I downloaded.

Enbrethiliel, I'm glad you liked it. I didn't have any expectations and that usually helps me enjoy it more. Since I'm such a geek, and know Mystique's back story, I've never really liked her but this movie made her more sympathetic.

My hubby and I saw X-Men: First Class on Friday. It was fantastic! And, like you said, although there were liberties, it was still really good. And, I absolutely loved James McAvoy! I also loved Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn's cameos.

I saw Xmen opening week and loved it! I'm not too familiar with the comics so I didn't really notice the liberties they may have taken but it really made me think of Magneto in a whole new light! The casting was perfect! :)
